JALAPENO JOHNNY CAKE



Jalapeno Johnny Cake image

A recipe that I just tossed together and it came out so well that I thought I'd post it! I'm sure you could omit the cheese and peppers and add honey or sugar to make a sweet version of this. You could also add chopped onion, green onions, green chillies, etc for a slightly different flavour. You could also put creamed corn but if you do, I'd probably decrease the amount of milk.

Tips:

  • Use good quality Cheddar cheese: The type of Cheddar cheese you use will greatly affect the taste of your Cheddar cakes. Look for a sharp or extra-sharp Cheddar that is well-aged for a more intense flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your Cheddar cakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the Cheddar cakes over medium heat: Cooking the Cheddar cakes over medium heat will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the Cheddar cakes, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the Cheddar cakes immediately: Cheddar cakes are best served immediately after they are cooked. This is when they are at their crispiest and most flavorful.

Conclusion:

Johnny Jalapenos Cheddar cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be served as a side dish. With their cheesy, spicy flavor and crispy texture, Cheddar cakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
